I think you (FT) should post the requirements of what is allowed to be saved and what isn't ASAP. If gundogs last pic isn't doable, then do you mean that area could be saved, but in smaller 'chunks' patched together to make up the spawn?

What interests me is how we are going to be able to move these objects or areas and integrate them into the new map! Thing like the robot will be easy, but may require amounts of land to be moved too which will probably mean we have to 'make' hills- should be pretty fun!

ok a few questions about the move:
1) What is happening about chests? i have allot of iron and 26 dim that i really want to keep? will the chests move with the building?
2) As above what are the requirments for areas/houses to be moved? no worries if you havnt thought about this yet ;p
3) If i have some items on me during the transfer will they still be there once complete?
thanks

As long as my main castle and materials are passed over im pretty happy for the move, i think the issue will always be that people have spent loads of time with there builds that it would be quite frustrating to start all over again, however would it be easier if they had several plots to put them together as instead of a whole area?

They need to be finalised. I don't really want to post something that we then have to change later - it'll annoy people even more than just waiting an extra 24 hours to get a 'final' answer. That said, I'll attempt to get them posted today/tonight.
edit: /re the patching together of stuff. It's more likely that moving things in smaller chunks is doable but we really need to test this properly before being able to decide for certain. Watch this space.

1) Chests will be moved and still protected, as long as they are within areas that are moved over.
2) See above
3) It's possible that we'll be able to move people's inventories over but I would assume that it won't work for now. It'd be safer to put it all in chests.
Original plan was for admins to manually copy using worldedit. This may change.

well think of the fun
plots get moved over and then we get to have the fun of making the land look well and nits all the plots together and look well with each other.
It would be a huge landscaping project
oh but if my project is to get moved it would need a large area around it to be clear too.
I can posy up an image of what it is suppose to look like from a top view

So FT when is this looking to take place, when is the closing date to have the plot added to the new map?
The only question i have and others will most probly ask is whether we can add to our plot, or do we need to ask admin? i can see already arguements of people building near other peoples builds and really want to avoid these sort of problems
LOL
be patient peeps
As was already said it wont be done before 1.4 release so that give at lest the rest of this week. For something this large of a project to pull off i am betting the admin team are planning it properly.
The fact they told us i am guessing was to see how it would go done and how many would want plots moved and to see if that might work. So for now all i can suggest is sit back relax and work out the plot area you need to get moved.
Wait and see what the admins say and then see how we carry on with what ever steps need to be carried out. I am sure the community will happy work together to help the admin team do the job as quickly as they can when the move happens.
Lets just wait and see what the criteria is for plot moves and chest moves.

All I want is my house saved It is like 21 blocks long by 10 wide by about 15 block high All the rest I can rebuild again if the mods will allow us some materiel's like stone and wood?
Also, can we chose were we have our plots placed? If so, I want to be as far away from everyone in a forest

As your house is so small why does it have to be saved, could be rebuilt easy enough?
People are going to have to be reasonable, it will NOT be possible to move every building. As FT mentioned there is likely to be a criteria list as otherwise it would be impossible. Unfortunately it's not possible to please everyone and regardless of what we do I'm sure some folk will be unhappy.
People need to remember as well that there is always the possibility of a MC update breaking the world map entirely as happened once before. Anyone remember the massive ravines which randomly appeared across half the map in a previous update?
I did say before that I wouldn't mind rebuilding my house as long as I get to keep all my chests. I have about 30 chests full of stuff

I'm the same really. It'd be nice to keep my building, but the chests are more important.
Perhaps there needs to be a new "vault" area made near the spawn, so people can start transferring their chests. If people have 30+ in buildings that aren't being kept, it's going to take a long time to move it all.
How about this? If someones building is going to be saved and say it was a huge tower with loads of levels, could we just put all our chests in that 1 tower? Each person would have a level or so depending on how many chests they have? And when the move has completed we could all move our stuff into our houses when we have built them?

That would work.... but ideally it'd have to be somewhere near the spawn so people can teleport there easily.
